This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
"Authorization Process: Congress must amend the Military Selective Service Act to allow the President to authorize the induction of personnel."
Told ya. They might have time, but no will. We'll see. FUCK.
If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔
Not electing Kamala Harris has got to be the
most colossal fuck up America has ever made .
Even if oil prices get back to “normal,” the disruption should be a wake-up call to move faster on alternative energy sources. If blocking one sea lane is all it takes to send gas prices soaring, then we need to move away from fossil fuels — fast.
Our president is one of the most arrogantly stupid leaders in the history of this planet.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
I completely agree.
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
There's a code of conduct that says remove your cap when the national anthem is played in a stadium so one sure as hell removes it when honoring fallen soldiers.
I could get mad about Trump lifting sanctions on Russian oil, but I'm old enough to remember when US intelligence said a Russian GRU unit was paying bounties to kill American and coalition forces in Afghanistan. But Trump "didn't know anything about that".
I think more than what was going on with Epstein with him raping kids , we need to know why the US was protecting him.
Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.
Same
Keep it going...

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
He's always been a moron.
This is an escalation by DHS.
Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.
Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
What a completely disgusting piece of shit.
How do Republicans live with themselves?
Exactly
Let it go
Every accusation is a confession...
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
This is Albie. He was so touched by his family singing happy birthday in his native language that he didn't notice the cupcakes with his face on them. 13/10 hbd Albie #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: _sallyv)
Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.
I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.
That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Cool!
Preach!
